nekom:Great headline. So this is like totally unrelated to the Boston thing, or...? Hell of a coincidence if it is.

We don't know the motivations of the Boston guy, but I'd say entirely unrelated. Mail takes time to go through the system, so it would have been mailed before Boston, and they're such different attacks that coordination seems unlikely. Kenneth Nutjob here was probably mailing in response to the gun control vote last week, given the timing and target (Wicker, who voted to break the initial filibuster and has done nothing else interesting in his life).

I could be entirely wrong, but this guy apparently was known around the Hill for sending a shiatload of angry mail, and he's from Mississippi. 2 + 2 makes 4 and all that.
